Insect on trial in international game (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
test cricket
'international game' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'insect on trial' is the wordplay.
'insect' becomes 'cricket' (cricket is a kind of insect).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'trial' becomes 'test' (synonyms).
'cricket' after 'test' is 'TEST CRICKET'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for test cricket that I've seen is " slow mover to many watching?".)
